Gfci receptacles wire continuity test

Hello,

2 neighbor GFCI recptacles in mi kitchen are controlled by different breakers. Both of them are of the tripping kind but one of them does not tripp. I don't know whether it is because the tripping mechanism is stuck or simply, it was set up for not to trip since the very beginning.

In a continuity test between them I found out that there is continutiy for the ground wire. That means that these 2 receptacles are linked by the ground wire.

The question is: there should be ground continuity for them if they do not belong to the same circuit?

Of more concern is the fact that your GFCI outlet is not tripping. This usually indicates a miswire...ie...load and line wires reversed. This is a very important safety feature anywhere near water....that these pop when an appliance or electricity would be discharged into you rather than it's intended path. Line is the side of a GFCI where the electricity or hot wires are coming in....Load is the side where the normal travel wire is then energized by electricity b/c the GFCI allows it through. Have an electrician look into it for your safety.
